The 2013 Greatrace in 10 Photos (plus one)


1)  Car loaded on U-Haul trailer.... ready to hit the road for St Paul.



2)  The largest and smallest vehicles in the race; a 1960 Fiat 600 and a 1955 firetruck.  Both cars made it to the end of the race!!!


3)  The car is tech'd, prepped, stickered, and ready to go!  I took the side panels off the hood to make it go faster......



4)  The starting line at Back to the '50s Carshow in St. Paul.  Over 12,000 cars were at the show.  It was overwhelming.  Cool start however.


5)  Chad, seconds from a restart, chowing down on a McDonald's hamburger!  



6)  An over-night stop.  Notice the two Ace stickers above the door?  Yeah, baby....


7)  We ended with five Aces.  Did I mention my nephew is a math major at TCU?


8)  Who is that crazy lady photo-bombing us?!?!?!  Hey, its mama duck.  Quack, quack, quack.  Nice knickers, eh!?!?  Who said the 1930's wasn't stylish?



9)  The finish line in Mobile, AL.  I was a little hot in my knickers.  I can't imagine how sweltering those "belles" were in their dresses.


10)  At the finish line:  1st in class and 16th overall.   Amazing!


11)  On the way home we passed through West Monroe, Louisiana - home of "Duck Dynasty."  We shopped, bought a t-shirt, and took a pic in front of the building.  No sign of Si....
